Final Selections

This week we finalized all of our selections for the house including paint, granite, and tile.  Most of it was already decided upon, but I'd been waiting for almost a month for the lady helping us with the tile selections to get in some specific samples of a beveled subway tile.  She called me last week to let me know they were finally in so Monday afternoon I stopped by to check them out. I'm so glad I waited before just settling on something else because the colors were gorgeous and the style was exactly what I was hoping for.  We're going with "enchanted shadow" and I think it's really going to complement our island color and stand out against the antique white cabinets.  You can also see a sneak peek of our main paint color, Silver Strand.

My plan was to make all of the kids' window treatments this week during spring break, but the kids and I have been staying so busy that I haven't gotten around to that yet. I did work on one little project today though.  I needed some sort of chandelier shades for the light in Harper's room and when I looked online for lavender ones the only ones I could find were $15-$25 a piece.  Crazy expensive.  SO, I just ordered a set of plain white silk ones and dressed them up a little with some lavender trim Harper helped me picked out at JoAnn.  I used my glue gun to attach the trim and love the way they turned out.  I think it will add just a little pop of color on her chandelier to coordinate with her room.
